§ 59815 Commodity Supply Market Regulation

Key Takeaways

  • •This law lets a group (like a committee) control how much of a product (like fruits or veggies) can be sold.
  • •They can set rules like how much can be sold, when it can be sold, or what quality it must be.
  • •These rules help make sure there's not too much of the product on the market at once.
  • •But this law doesn’t apply to green ripe olives—they can be sold without these limits.

Example

A group of orange farmers wants to make sure they don’t sell too many oranges at once, so the price doesn’t drop too low.

The committee can set rules like only selling a certain number of oranges each month or only selling the biggest, juiciest ones. This helps keep prices fair for farmers. But if they were selling green ripe olives, they wouldn’t have to follow these rules.

§ 59815 Commodity Supply Market Regulation

A marketing program may authorize the marketing program committee to establish, adopt, and apply methods for correlating the marketable supply of any commodity to the reasonable market demands by means of volume limitation, time limitation, diversion, or by grade, quality, or size regulations which are applicable to the total production of any commodity, or to that portion of any commodity which qualified for marketing pursuant to standards which are authorized in the marketing program, standardization laws, or other laws of this state, or of the United States. The marketing of green ripe olives is not, however, subject to the provisions of any marketing program which limits the total quantity of such commodity which may be marketed. (Enacted by Stats. 1967, Ch. 15.)
